This Congress capitulates, strips away, and serves the wealthy few.

But the next Congress can be different.

The next Congress can defend immigrants, students,& faculty.

The next Congress can protect healthcare and academic freedom.

Choice is clear: put a ✔️ on fascism or accept it.

This is a blatant lie — but that's the point. It's Authoritarianism 101.

Trump lives to sow chaos and act like a strongman to cover for his rapidly declining popularity.

He needs to "other" his political opponents and stoke fear in order to hide his failures.

This is why we must not give in.

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

This is Mylo. He's a front runner for next year's Oscars. He can act like he's never had a meal just five minutes after lunch. 13/10 the performance of a lifetime (TT: _luciame)

Just found this very nice video where Real Peel digs into the sci lit about the complexities of CO2 & plants. "CO2 is plant food" is basically saying "Brawndo has what plants crave, it has electrolytes" & Mike Judge already showed us what happens when we go down that road 🫠 youtu.be/Bn8afMBC-rU?...

The Department of Energy has added these terms to its growing “list of words to avoid” because words are dangerous:

climate change
green
decarbonization
emissions
energy transition
sustainability
sustainable
clean energy
dirty energy
carbon footprint
CO₂ footprint
tax breaks
tax credits
subsidies
Energy Dept. adds ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list
It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.

🌊 Plastics aren’t just polluting the ocean, they might be messing with the marine carbon cycle too.

A new study argues plastics could disrupt how the ocean captures and stores CO₂.

A hidden climate risk? 👇

The American Meteorological Society's formal response to "foundationally flawed" DOE mis/disinformation report on #ClimateChange is excellent & timely. Frankly, I have been more impressed w/@ametsoc.org's ability to effectively meet the moment this year than other scientific professional societies.

Great journalism uncovers unexpected stories, poses uncomfortable questions, and offers no easy answers.

This is great journalism:

But it could try. In the case of the 2.6 million tons, at least, somebody in a position of influence at the state or federal level — the person’s identity may never be publicly known — hit upon an ingenious solution. The fire ash would simply not be tested for hazardous compounds. If you didn’t test the ash, you couldn’t prove it was toxic. And without evidence of toxicity, all the ash could be shipped, immediately, to the nearest residential landfill.

See where plastic ends up in the ocean - and likely in sea creatures and your sea food.
